*ANT MAN & THE WASP* gave me moderate to severe PTSD

Couple things: Thank you guys so much for being part of this incredible community! Love yall so damn much! 1) my question about this movie is when paul rudd pretended to be sick and vomiting. how did he know that was the excuse his daughter gave to the FBI? 2) i didn't understand the second end credit.... help.

They need to make a Disney+ series that's just Luis giving recaps of all the MCU movies. They could call it, "Luis Explains Everything."

After watching this fun movie in theaters, we all walked out depressed again seeing that after credits scene.

Let's all give the Ant-Man franchise a big thank you for normalizing positive co-parenting relationships.

Imagine marinating in all that despair for one effing year before endgame came out. ONE YEAR!!!

It really emphasizes how painful watching these movies as they came out was. I walked out of Infinity War in a cloud of emotions not knowing up from down. We didnt even know that Engame was going to be called Endgame for months after.

You're not the only one who said that Louis needs to do a recap of each and every Marvel film and series. A lot of people have been begging for that to happen because it would be funny as hell!

And there goes Alex, asking himself a question he actually knew deep inside😂 Alex: What does the "10" in "Studios" mean? I should know that... 10 years?? Me: It's the te... Yes, Alex, 10 years👏👏

28:13 Those are tardigrades, also known as 'water bears'. They're a crazy little creature that can survive far better than we can in pretty much every environment you can think of including space. You can even dehydrate them for 10 years and they'll still be alive if you put them in a drop of water. They just come back like a kind of zombie. On a side note, this movie is not directly connected to the MCU (MCU adjacent), but still has a stinger scene at the very least attached to it, but before Spider-Man: No Way Home is watched, would you consider watching Venom: Let there be Carnage?

"she is pretty" saying Michelle Pfeiffer who was among the most beautiful humans ever existed when young, is pretty, is an understatement of a millennium hehe

the thing you may have missed from the second post credit scene was the TV broadcasting the emergency alert system.. Just another little thing to show you how bad the world is at that moment.

I cant wait to see him realize he actually needed Ant Man the entire time.

Great reaction bud. As far as your questions go, I assumed for #1 that either Scott heard Cassie talk to the FBI, or they've used that excuse before and expected it. And I think #2 as others have said was to add some comic relief while driving Thanos' snap home. Also - as part of "why wasn't Ant Man in Infinity War?" - Ant Man lives in San Francisco and the battle was in Wakanda. In Infinity War he's mentioned and Rhodey explains that both Ant-Man and Hawkeye were on house arrest and unavailable, so that tied into this movie nicely. The end there triggers the light bulb of "ohhhh this is why it's important to endgame" and also helps drive the point home that it wasn't just the Avengers that lost people, EVERYONE did. Captain Marvel (and its' post credit scene) has similar plot points for Endgame. Endgame is epic enough that you don't wanna get confused with a lot of "wait, why is that there and why is that happening?" stuff. It's also worth noting that there is Ant Man 3 (called Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania) that is coming out next year and kicking off Phase 5. (We can talk more about phases 4-6 when you get done w/ phase 3) Hang in there - Endgame is definitely worth the wait, you'll slap your gooch so hard you'll need crutches for a week, (I dunno what that means either) lol. Cheers

Alex - sees Lawrence Fishburne: I know this guy. Me - nodding my head in anticipation. Alex: Is he from John Wick?! Me - shaking my head in disappointment.

I think it's do time for you to check out the MATRIX movies since the only reference to Laurence Fishburne is John Wick. You'll find out why that connection to Keanu Reeves is so important.

The mid credit scene is a gut punch. The movie is fun and light hearted, and then that mid credit scene reminded us what world we were living in…

This is what I loved about Ant Man and the Wasp, it’s a hilarious movie and I definitely love it more than the 1st Ant Man movie. This movie did a great job of explaining why Ant Man was not there for Infinity War and it took your focus away from all of the heartbreak you experience from watching Infinity War. But just when you’ve really enjoyed the movie, BOOM! The post credit scene happens, heartbreak returns and it’s all connected! 1 more to go Alex, can’t freaking wait!!!

Once you get to WandaVision, you'll learn to love Agent Jimmy Woo

This film is actually really important to Endgame. Obviously, you didn't know that going in buy wanted to mention it if you happened to read this comment. Regardless, people give the Ant-man films shit but I really enjoy them. They're something different and, like you said, mostly low, grounded stakes. Also, I absolutely love that it doesn't take the typical "father/step-father hate each other" trope. It's nice to see that it's a pretty happy healthy situation for everyone.

Baba Yaga is actually a reference to a Witch that lives deep in the woods in a hut on Chicken legs. It's a Slavic Fairy Tail.
